HERBERT ELOESSER, OF SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA.

POCKET.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Apr. 29, 191$.

Application filed August 8, 1918. Serial No. 248,969.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, HERBERT ELOESSER, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of San Francisco, in the county of San Francisco and State of California, have invented a new and Improved Pocket, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.

The invention relates to wearing apparel, and its object is to provide a new and improved pocket more especially designed for use on overalls, trousers, coats, vests and other garments such as are generally Worn by artisans and other persons, and arranged to accommodate articles of different length such, for instance, as a rule and pencil, to securely hold such articles in position in the pocket without danger of accidentally dropping out, and to allow of conveniently removing or replacing either article without disturbing the other.

With these and other objects in view, the invention consists of certain novel features of construction, as hereinafter shown and described and then specifically pointed out in the claim.

A practical embodiment of the invention is represented in the accompanying drawings forming a part of this specification, in which similar characters of reference indicate corresponding parts on all the views.

Figure 1 is a perspective view of the pocket as applied to the apron of a pair of overalls;

Fig. 2 is an enlarged front elevation of the pocket with part broken out, and shown applied to the outer side of a leg of a pair of overalls;

Fig. 3 is a cross section of the same on the line 33 of Fig. 2; and

Fig. 4 is a sectional plan view of the same on the line 4.4= of Fig. 2.

The back 10 of the pocket preferably forms a portion of the material 11 of which the garment is made, and the front 12 of the pocket is attached at its sides and bottom by rows of stitches 13 to the garment material thus leaving the top of the front detached from the back 10 and thereby providing an entrance 14 to the pocket. The

pocket formed is of a desired depth to accommodate pencils, pliers, or similar articles. In order to accommodate longer articles, use is made of an extension piece 20, the lower portion of which extends into the pocket and the upper portion extends a distance above the top edge of the front 12. This extension piece 20 is fastened to the garment material 11 at the sides, preferably by extending the side rows of stitches 13 beyond the top of the plate 12, as plainly indicated in the drawings. By the arrangement described, the top edge of the extension piece 20 forms with the garment material a second entrance to the pocket and this second entrance is lo cated a distance above the entrance 1 L.

It will be noticed that longer articles than the ones passed into the pocket through the entrance M can readily be passed into the pocket by way of the entrance 21 thus accommodating both short and long articles in the same pocket.

It will further be noticed that convenient access is had to either long or short article to permit the user to readily remove or replace the long or short article without disturbing the other.

By extending the extension piece 20 a distance down into the pocket, it is evident that short articles accommodated in the pocket are not liable to slip into the extension pocket.

The pocket shown and described is very simple in construction and cheap to manufacture, requiring but little more material than is used in forming an ordinary plain pocket.

As illustrated in Fig. 1, the pocket is shown applied to the apron or bib of the overalls as a complete unit, while as shown in Fig. 2 the right hand seam of the pocket is part of the long side seam of a leg of the overalls.

Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent A garment pocket for accommodating articles of different lengths, comprising a back, a front attached to the back along the sides and bottom to form a pocket entrance the said front, the said extension piece format the top, and an extension piece attached ing With the said back an upward extension to the said back at the sides, the lower port0 the pocket, the entrance of the extended 10 tion of the said extension piece extending pocket being a distance above the top of into the pocket formed by the said front and the said front. the upper portion of the said extension piece extending a distance above the top of HERBERT ELOESSER.

tlopies of this patent may be obtained for five cents each, by addressing the Commissioner of Patents, Washington, I). G.
